Any dreamweaver experts???

[java]

My son is having trouble saving a webpage he designed. He is getting a "cannot save file" Any ideas? It saved at school but here at home he can't get it to save after you made some changes.

what version of dreamweaver?

Is the file being accessed from the internet, or is it locally saved?

 

[java]

CS3
and locally saved

Try using 'Save As' as opposed to save

 

[java]

That is what he is trying to do when he gets the cannot save message. *thank you for any help you can give!

thats really REALLY weird...

a Plan B, if you're on a PC, copy the code and paste it into notepad, then save it as an HTML page. On a mac, textedit can handle it, just go to Preferences and check "Ignore rich text commands in HTML files." Or, download the free version of BBedit if it still exists.

if I might ask, and Im not making ANY accusations.

What is the "legitimacy" of the CS3 he's using?

 

[java]

It's a school copy so I hope it's legit

He's going to try the saving it as an html thank you! I'll let you know if it works. He's afraid part of the code won't transfer??(whatever that means?)

ok... I was curious about limited functionality in a "less-than-legitiate" copy... but that's another topic.

As long as he copies and pastes ALL of it, the code will transfer. That's a trick from the web designers retirement home
